Life Changing MomentHave you ever put your life on hold because, you fail in love? My life changed, Junior Year of High School because I would do anything for love. Being young and irresponsible I made a decision on dropping out. While living the life of a High School dropout, realizing I was missing my High School experience with my friends and all the fun before Senior Year.

In a relationship for 2 years, I never knew how to separate myself from the person I grew to love. Junior year started, I was captain of my High School dance team and District Co. Captain for our district dance team. While being in school I was the popular kid that people talk to and hang out. One day just came I found out from one of my team mate that my boyfriend was planning to go off to college. Junior year started I wasn’t really focusing the first month of school to I realized when I got my third week Progress Report. Nothing but low C’s and comments about me not doing this, more on not paying attention and not doing any work. Finding that out the first week of school made me bum to the day I was kicked off on the school dance team. After getting kicked off and all the hard work I put into our performance for the homecoming I didn’t care. Just felt like the world ended and my brain just evacuated from my head.

Just 6 week into school the District dance team performs for our homecoming game I was gone and off to California. Leaving to California with my boyfriend and dropping my education seemed right at the moment to me too I realized that I should be the one dancing at half time and going to homecoming. But, I left all that behind to support my boyfriend and be with my boyfriend. Hearing from my close friends that they’re missing me and hoping I come back, made me feel left out from the high school experience I could had. While I was in California my boyfriend started school late at USC in California. Being in L.A wasn’t the easiest every day I dream on coming home for...

Ever since I can remember I spent almost ever y day at my Grandparents house. They live right down the road from my family and me, and that is how they got the title “Grandma and Grandpa down the road”. They lived in a small house three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a small living room with a fire place that can worm the coldest heart. And in their back yard stood a shed filled with old farm equipment and stray cats with their...

Blessings aren’t something that comes around too often. They don’t come with a huge wave of light from the sky or even thunderbolts to the head. They start as an insignificant moment that would normally be ignored by the everyday average person. I pondered unfortunate circumstances and appreciate kindness large or small.
Oneday I took a break from school to grab some coffee and get things off my mind, I was just fighting back the tears. A woman in front of me paid for my...

...The Speech That Changed My Life (Or Something Along Those Lines)
By: Star Li (View Profile)
Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford commencement speech means a lot to me. I’ve been told numerous times to listen to this particular speech but kept putting it off because I was sure it would be something along the clichéd lines of “Follow your dreams,” “Never give up no matter ………0what,” “Work hard so you can one day be as successful as me,” etc.
I didn’t want to be preached to, especially...

...Six years ago an event took place in my life that I will never forget. It was a lifechanging event, something that I would never wish on anyone. I had my children taken away from me due to my ex-husband abusing me.
I had just had my third little girl and thought that maybe this time things would get better. After each baby I secretly wished this. And for the first week or two things seemed to get better, but it always went back to the same old...

...came to mind was if I was going to make it off the roller coaster I was riding. Conquering my first roller coaster and overcoming my fear of heights made me realize that I shouldn’t be afraid to take chances in life, but to be brave, because it may just turn out to be the ride of my life.
At thirteen years old, I was the kid that no one wanted to drag to an amusement park with because I strictly stuck to the merry go round and swings. My parents were always...

How Fight Club Changed My Life
Once, I was a young boy who believed everything I heard, yet I knew nothing. I
was impressionable and weak. Above all else, I was confused. I did not understand
myself, and I did not realize why I wasn’t happy. Everything always went wrong. I felt
my life slipping away into oblivion with no palpable meaning. My life was an endless
array of homework, band camp, theater, girls, and a...
